Social media is pervasive and has become widely accepted for business use. Social media and websites that allow user-generated content have legitimate business value for building brands, raising awareness and connecting with customers. As businesses embrace social, cyber criminals have increased their use of these sites as a channel to spread data-stealing malware on corporate networks.

Go Social Safely

Social media is not going away, and IT professionals are finding it more difficult than ever to restrict its use. A survey conducted by Osterman Research and Trustwave showed that a majority of the IT decision makers who responded permit Twitter, Facebook, LinkedIn and YouTube at their organizations.

That is a telling sign that IT and security practitioners will face pushback if they deny employees access to popular social media sites. Aside for their personal allure, these platforms offer compelling business benefits such as lead generation, brand publicity and customer interaction. But if they are going to provide advantages, they need to be secured. These sites serve as fertile ground for malware and sensitive data loss, which could lead to revenue loss, compliance violations and brand damage.

What You Don't Know Can Hurt You

Malware is often cleverly embedded in malicious emails or sent through spam links over Twitter and LinkedIn or in dynamic Facebook and YouTube content such as videos, surveys or contests. In addition, workers may use personal or corporate social media accounts to inadvertently share confidential information about the company with the public.

Technology Plus Knowledge Equals Security

But with the right technologies and education, companies can go social safely. Employees can leverage the enormous connective power of social networking sites, and organizations can rest easy knowing their critical information will stay protected from errant insiders and malicious outsiders. Trustwave can help you minimize your exposure while still reaping the business benefits of social media.
